(been ages since I visited and dropped by on this site!)

But any way I think too many think Emulation is the end of a platform, or the end of new hardware. I pointed this out on Amigaworld, but likely the two most successful Amiga hardware project in the last few years have been Emulation base.

A500 Mini and Pistorm.

I also heard they're maybe making a FPGA Pistorm, which sounds interesting.

I keep thinking what if instead of Emu68 the Pi emulated a PPC board, would a PistormPPC be possible?

If it was, Classic AmigaOs4 might have a second shot in the arm for development. an easy low cost upgrade to PPC for classic Amiga would be good to see.

Then also the above FPGA Pistorm would be even more interesting if the software was well developed so you could switch from a excellent emulated classic Amiga to AmigaOS4.1 in QEMU with ease, that would be really interesting hardware.

So I wish all the devs and work going into this best of luck, I know we would all like more new native hardware and faster development of AmigaOS4, but I think just acknowledge the limited resource the Amiga world has (which is not fault of anyone) is not a bad thing, it just what can be done to be most effective to limit work.

I mean another thing I love is Rabbit hole and how well it works on Amikit setup, on the Pi400, it kinda given that dream of kinda running a modern Amiga with access to modern thing like a web browser, to just double click Chrome icon on AmigaOs and have the browser load up and seem like it part of the Os is pretty good. These solutions I feel are clever ways around the problems. We're never going to be main stream without a crazy billionaire coming along (elon musk), but I do love people have developed way around the problems.

Yep I had this issue, I begin to think it just black magic sometimes as to weather you get a smooth working system or not, but i got the "Failed to load amigaboot.of: Insufficient memory" line a few times, I replace the sata cables to these https://www.amazon.co.uk/CORSAIR-Premi ... F&pd_rd_i=B07L687D8T&th=1

and it seem to fix the issue, it so weird.

I have 2 sticks and just 2Gb Ram that came with the system.

I dont know myself, most people who did get one seem to either left the scene or upgraded to the X5000.

I mean it still a system that I think is better than any Eyetech AmigaOne system, and faster than Sam460 or upcoming A1222. But I feel within the OS4 community most of the focus has been on X5000 systems now. I mean this the fist major thread I seen discussing X1000 in a while, great to see, but I dont see many other people/users talk about the X1000.

Really interesting thread guys.

I never got usb to boot either, I know there can be issues with Sata connection too when reading from cd.

The x1000 /os4 always felt like a bit of a beta machine, not quite ready for end users.
saying that it was always fun figuring out how to do things and getting things to work, I had quite a long period of a stable system, but for what ever reason the last few years I just got this random crashing, did a lot of software checking, replaced sata cable, ram, cmos battery, fan on the system, fresh install, etc. it kinda better, but it still crash every now and again, it really put me off using it now, as I don’t want my Amiga time to just be troubleshooting.

Hope you have better luck with yours and welcome to the x1000 club, I feel there very few of us left now, and even fewer that it’s there only/main os4 machine.

Agreed, although i haven't had to ask many questions, most of the problems I've had seem to have been answered before on forums and on website, just a quick google search and usually I find the solution, so these community sites have been a god send as with out them I would of had a much less happy Amiga experiences. So thanks guys.

I have to agree, at first getting the AmigaONE X1000 I thought I be more active in the Amiga community and on the forums more but actually its the opposite I had less time, because I'm just having fun on my new Amiga.

I had even less time recently with a lot happing in my "real" life so I still feel I'm only at the beginning of my journey with OS4. Still have'nt had time to install linux yet or try alot of other stuff on my Amiga. Such as life

I might have to put in a little bid for that tie.

Just thought it was time some one post a little review on the system, it more just thought of what i think of it so far, enjoy.

PS: Might do a better and more in depth review later but thought it be unfair until I fully explore the system.

Nice Mod, but I think I like the way the boing looks on my white system being a little suttle and only make it out by the shadows, so glad they did engrave the boing ball it does look stunning.

Just tried Google Doc all working, Youtube html5 video worked, did crash after playing but still pretty nice work guys, plus notice Chrome folder in the install is that the easter egg if not why Chrome in Firefox I thought that ran off web kit and not had anything to do with Firefox.

Hello all thought it was about time I join this site and what better way of doing than by doing it with my new AmigaONE X1000. Yep first Amiga website I have posted on from my new Amiga. Lots to learn and setup but finding it great to be back on an Amiga.
